I just learned about this yesterday, the holy grail for Greyhawk collectors.  It does exist, no I don't have a copy, and the fellow who revealed this will not part with it.  "TSR used to print up prototype copies of modules for consideration and review at board meetings. From what I have been able to learn by interviewing several ex-TSR employees, they would print between 3-6 copies or so... perhaps as many as 12. These copies had full color covers, with all the artwork in place and ready to go, except that unlike the typical folio modle format, they were perfect bound.   This copy is WGRX - Ivid the Undying. It was being reviewed for release right about the time that TSR decided to cut Greyhawk from its product line. The copy is in absolutely pristine condition."  Text was also present, this would be as good if not better than what would have been in stores if it had been produced.  This comes from a big game store owner, and he promised to put up a picture on the web.

Wow... That may be the rarest module EVER.  Quick!  A google search on former TSR board members!  Must raid their garages before Mike Kuo finds them!  Very cool news.  I hope a picture and more info are forthcoming... who wrote the module?  Was it a Gygax module?

Good to hear!    FYI, Jon, Carl Sargent was the author for Ivid the Undying.  When the ms. was cancelled, chunks of it were published in Dragon:  

Dragon #204, p.52 Campaign Journal: The Twin Cities, by Carl Sargent The first excerpt from the unpublished Ivid the Undying product, including maps  Dragon #206, p.34 Campaign Journal: The Sea Barons, by Carl Sargent The second excerpt from Ivid the Undying  Dragon #206, p.42 Fiend Knights and Dark Artifacts, by Carl Sargent Magic items from the Ivid the Undying supplement  Dragon #208, p.48 Campaign Journal, p.48: The Adri Forest, by Carl Sargent The third, and sadly final, excerpt from Ivid the Undying

 The ms. is available for free online at  The page cannot be found and Kent Matthewson's excellent map is available at  The page cannot be found

Ivid the Undying is available for download at these other places:  IO - The Modular Data Center Technology Leader  404 Not Found  Interesting how this site has a cover of Ivid the Undying on the German S1 limited edition cover.  Yahoo! GeoCities: Get a web site with easy-to-use site building tools.  RPG Forum  http://thales.math.auth.gr/~bchr/worlds ... id/ivi.htm  Here is some info about the item:  404 Not Found  All of the above sites have tidbits about the item so others if they are interested should check out the links.

dave---  I'd be very interested in getting in touch with the collector to get some additional information about the physical description of WGRX (for example, it looks like a box set to me vs. a booklet/hardcover), as well as the contents (are the contents identical to what TSR/WotC released on their web sites, for example, or are additional editorial/authorial changes incorporated into the text that we haven't seen before?).  And, FWIW, I think the holy grails of GH collecting are still the Stoink: Wasp's Nest lost supplement, and Gygax and Kuntz's true version of Castle Greyhawk

Mike, it's not a do the math thing or whatever:  I'm lazy and wanted to see if anyone else already had the info  from gamersrealm.com whois:

Interesting comment from Sean K. Reynolds on the Greyhawk-l list:  Error - Invalid Index File

OK, so has any more research come to light on this?  Greyhawk collectors world-wide want to know!

Nope, I didn't email him....
